GENIUS FORUMS

We all know politicians can promise stuff. We should have votes on issues rather then people.

Romantic bullocks. Modern Western civilization is more sustainable than the Dark Ages ever were, especially since we became so profoundly aware of the environment on a logical, rational, and scientific level in the last 50 or so years. What you got against romance? Yes were more aware of how were t...

I realize this, hate creates pain in me, as much as the object of it. It's just frustrating to walk around and see so much wrong, and have so little power to correct. Either no one listens, they don't care, or they simply can't devote to a cause.

Whats his drug policy? whats his economic vision? how is he gonna make the education system more then somewhere to learn about what you don't care about so you can forget it and get a job doing something completely unrelated and never sue what you spent years learning? Is he gonna cleanse the media ...

Unfortunate that just bombings are part of western culture. And while natives may have been greedy (hard to do when your taking no more then you need, and using all of it) but at least they had sustainability.

Gen-"I"-"Us" ...better then a scientist who toils is one who shares. something about a sum, greater than, and the fact modern science is independent and seclusive, and rather lacking in progression. This brings me to the horror that is modern architecture, modern planing, and mod...

Vote for someone whose definition of freedom that doesn't include imprisonment of people who don't agree with them, or notions that something so much as a substance can be criminal. Such things as poverty could be abolished through economic purity. School could be made to encourage the passion to le...

Awesome topic. Words like freedom, liberty, rights, and terrorism, to name a few, have been grossly abused by the powers that be. The fact that someone else can have a right for me not to do something, that is a right to have me not have a right, shows the shear hypocrisy of our governing systems. T...

Explain one instance of something happening without a cause? A person doing something without a cause doesn't count, there body is the cause of what they cause. For one thing, a culture without a written history does not exactly have any ancient traditions; Ha, another good one. Moronic to the max. ...

I was thinking of that too, the greatest breakthroughs have been made looking at what others thought irrelevant, pointless, or non existent. Take in everything, look for connections later, cause really everything is the same, it's behavior that gives us the illusion of separation and difference.

Everyone looks at a butterfly and wishes they could flutter around with such innocence. It's the thoughts between realizing what you want, and obtaining it that interfere with happiness. Anaylzeing what you do know is one thing, (thought lead to understanding, the more you know the less you understa...

Interesting question. All of the examples I could think of are dis-eased animals or animals exposed to human activity and physically or mentally dis-eased because of that. However, individual members of any species might demonstrate extremely odd behavior by some freakish mutation but these specime...

People who don't know how to live hide behind their sayings. Those kind of people tend to live in their heads.

"3/4 of written philosophy is people trying to convince them selves they like the trap they were ticked into entering"


If it runs stop picking it


laziness is a survival mechanism
boredom is it's enemy, or the pain of regression/stagnation

Do people honestly still believe it makes the slightest difference whose in the chair, it's the same machine, with the same cult running it all. No matter who you vote for the system wins. Plato - "it's better that the wise rule unwillingly, then those who want power get it." As long as a ...

Are there any conclusions to be reached that we don't already know that will better our lives, aside from the enjoyment many of us get from the thought process. Seems to be as simple as hard work gets you good things. If I know why I'm here, will it add anything to my being here? Will it destroy my ...

It's quality not quantity. The high ratio of filler to content in books is a huge deterant for me. Plus I hate how many of them try to do the thinking for you. It's like someone else eating the jelly in your dough nut, it just doesn't taste the same. What gets me is how long winded people can be and...

Whenever someone tries to justify doing something pointless and retarded by saying: "It's an ancient Native American tradition." For one thing, a culture without a written history does not exactly have any ancient traditions; for another, umm... didn't Europeans following "ancient Eu...

I see boredom as nothing but lack of stimulation. A man can be happy in the woods doing virtually nothing but getting by, because he is in a stimulating environment. He is surrounded by active life, scents, tastes, sights... In a city your either socializing, doing work of some form, or killing time...

Their thinking is superficial and scant, so failing to penetrate all layers of any particual issue or subject at hand they remain ignorant, and therefore dimwitted. My thinking is deep and thorough as I penetrate to the heart of of matters leaving myself on the other hand enlightened. [grammaticall...

Life ruins thinking!

Is the over unanalyzed life worth living?
Is it worth analyzing?

Knowing how a movie was made destroys the experience of watching it.
